USZ Balkanization Update: 34 states petitioning to secede

As of Tuesday morning, 34 of 50 states are petitioning President Obama for peaceful secession from the United States of America. That number was only 23 yesterday. That is more than half of the states in America.

It's clear that these petitions are a nod to dissatisfaction that some conservatives think may soon match Civil War proportion. The utter contempt for the Obama administration indicated by this petition drive, which appears to be on its way to all fifty states, is very clear.

Monday, the petitions had garnered 93,166 collective total signatures. Since then, Texas alone, has over 63,745 signatures. Some famous Texans including Governor Rick Perry and Chuck Norris have made thundering noises about secession. Norris' column reads like a "Call to Action" for all Texas Patriots.

Each petition requires 25,000 signatures in order to be reviewed by the administrator. Texas was first to meet that requirement. The states participating in the petition drive to secede, at this time, are:

"We petition the Obama Administration to peacefully grant the State of Texas to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government. The US continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government’s neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the US suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect it’s citizens’ standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government."
